I sure hope they put a freaking speaker phone button on the stupid thing. I don't use the phone enough to warrant sticking a bluetooth headset in my ear every time I get in the car.
So they hath forced the evil that is Xcode 4 upon iOS developers. (But there's a link for Xcode 2.2.6 although it surely won't last through the next SDK update.)
@TheOutOfStarsException hehe, yah that I did. It's interesting to analyze the error. I was gong to say something about the wind finally blowing through my window, as it's been windy today. However, I went to with the ferocity angle as it's picked up quite a bit.
It rained a bit yesterday. I had to drive in it. It seemed like every idiot in WA state was getting in my way. LOL Not that it was a whole lot of rain or anything.
This (my eyes!):
The account drop down should have at least background-color: #FFF; also on mobile devices. :)
Though I must admit it works very well with VoiceOver (I use it when my eyes are tired from programming all day).
@Tim: the thing is after the May 13 change, any further UI change was just about guaranteed to break me as I was relying on remembering where things are
If people were bothered by the wrong-colored envelope, that's fine. But currently, there is no link to the /user/recent page. Anywhere. That's inexcusable.

Also, @drachenstern, weren't you complaining about something the other day? ;) (But really, I think you had mentioned a bug about one of the scripts, but I can't remember. :/)
@Joshua that was a fix mostly for screen readers. as for your high contrast mode automatically stripping bg-image, but not un-indent text.. I'm not sure what the best solution is. But i'm open for suggestions.
@Marti However, the reputation graph and the list of your activity and responses in your profile are supposed to be a replacement for /recent. They don't match option for option though, which is bound to annoy some people.
@TimStone No it doesn't: the smallest time increment it'll show is one day, and that only if you ask it nicely. The /recent page shows you only new stuff, regardless of where the day starts and ends.
@Joshua then if you're using Linux write it yourself :p ~ Seriously, the people who need alternate support tend to already be using OSX or Windows on a regular basis, they're not going to be the Linux type (in my limited experience of like 5 people who need those things)
@RebeccaChernoff I think Nick already answered, yeah?
> We can't guarantee these links will continue to work, these pages were very inefficient, especially for very active users. We will continue to improve the destination pages that the popup links to though. –
@Marti It's still the same information, you're just upset about how it's displayed. Which is understandable, I guess you're concerned that you don't know what you gained reputation for?
With the new updates applied within the past 24 hours or so I can no longer see the vote up/down buttons.
For accessibility reasons I found it necessary to replace all website specified colors with browser colors, and this also removes all background images, and in fact all images placed by any ...
@Jin Is it possible to style the profile link in such a way that I don't think it's a normal link that'll take me to my profile, instead of opening up that popup?
@TimStone If the smallest time window you can see is one day, then you have to try to remember, "ok, was that answer already at 30? Or was it this other answer that was lower before? Where did those newest points come from?" Whereas with the /recent page, it remembers for you.
@Jin I didn't realize that I'd get the drop down by clicking on the link, I thought I had to click the arrow specifically. I'm not sure what the best option would be, though..lemme think. :/
The initial complaint was made May 13 '10 at 15:15 and it has not been fixed since then. Additionally Jeff made it clear that you were trying to mangle many bugs in one report. It's much easier for software developers to have one bug report at a time, even if you make 50 of them. Putting 50 bugs into one report makes it harder for us to get all your requests. Additionally, there are many complaints about the sites here not working well with user supplied styles, and I know that ...
... Jin is working to fix that where he can, but that it's often the dev team that does those things, for programmatic reasons and not because of something that they wanted to intentionally break.
@drachenstern i think a triangle is still the most obvious one. the arrows you posted are too arrow. see facebook and twitter's dropdown. they use similar shapes
The arrow has no visual connection to your name there. Nothing to indicate it is acting as a singular element. So you (ok, me) expect it to be the normal link.
@NickCraver Ah, so would it be possible sometime in the future perhaps to give @Marti his time-based reputation event list? Since the reputation graph groups everything by day now, you can't tell where reputation increases came from.
@NickCraver Right, but you have no feel for what changed unless you know the values for everything listed on that day from the last time the graph was there.
@Joshua Can I suggest (serious as a heart attack) opening a (two) new ticket(s) and stating that since there were two issues before with partial fixes, that these are the two new problems that need to be addressed?
Maybe on hover something like that to indicate that it's all one "unit", as @RebeccaChernoff mentioned before?
@RebeccaChernoff Why not? If it's broken down on the day level, it should show you the same break down as /recent did for reputation right?
I guess the concern is that you can't remember which items in the list you already saw, but arguably since they're in order, you know well enough what the most recent reps came from.
Right now you don't though, since they're all grouped.
@drachenseten: thing is, while I can file bugs against things I can't see but know are there, I cannot ever discover new features that use sprites because I cannot see them.
@TimStone Let's say at 2am I get 50 rep on Post A. At 3am I get 80 rep on Post B. At noon, I check the page and see those. Then at 1pm I earn 10 rep on Post C then 10 rep on Post B then 10 rep on Post A. Grouped by day, Post C is gonna be buried underneath 60 rep for Post B and 90 rep for Post B.
@Jin Well, the arrow used for the profile link is different than the arrow used in the StackExchange™ MultiCollider SuperDropdown™. I know one's a sprite and the other's an actual symbol, of course, but it's open arrow versus closed arrow. Also, why doesn't the StackExchange link on Gaming start with an uppercase S? Is that by design?
Speaking of which (actually not, but this is always an appropriate topic), I had bacon and feta cheese stuffed chicken breast tonight for dinner, and it was awesome.
we print out the points for the graph on the initial page load, loaded by a single query now, the bottom list (even the initial selection) is an ajax load, and loads html (rather than json), clicking to expand does the same for the sub-view
each of these is a single query, whereas /recent was doing one-per-post in a few places, not good
@waiwai933 you could've re-edited. But given his persistent misspelling of my name repeatedly, maybe I don't want to be associated with the post at all.
The envelope is gone from next to my name! How am I supposed to check where those recent points came from? I don't remember the link to that page!
Edit: just to summarize the ways that the reputation graph does not make a suitable replacement for the /recent page:
The recent page has just the ...
There isn't. If someone is being particularly disruptive (on more than a technical disagreement level) in the comments or something, you can always flag for moderator attention
